Thank you all for the Birthday wishes. I'm still fighting this cold but not too bad, I can still work, etc. I've been sitting in the sauna every night, which makes me feel better but I don't know if it's helping or hurting. D13 has been down for two days. On the couch, pounding water and Gatorade, not eating a whole lot. Her fever goes from normal up to 102 than back depending on when she takes her cold medecine.
Anyway today is "Back to the Condo" day. I called XW around 10 this morning (she's off work this week). She wasn't in a very good mood but I could tell it wasn't snottiness directed at me:
XW: Hello Me: Hey, it's me. What are you doing? (I don't know why I asked. I think it's just a natural reflex) XW: Uh...just making some Breakfast (At 10:00?!?...OK) Me: Hmmm, D13's home on the couch. She's been fighting that fever for a couple of days now but she says she's feeling better. I told her that if she wanted, she could have you pick her up anytime today. She doesn't have to wait 'til tonight. I suggested Noon. XW: Yeah, I talked to her. I'm going over there to get her at Noon. Me: I don't think she needs to go to the Doctor but if you want to... XW: No, I don't think so either. Me: Secondly, on Christmas Day you said she'd be coming over to me around 6:00? XW: No, actually plan on 4:30. I can get her there by then for you. I'll try to get her there even a little earlier. Me: Great, just let me know if it's earlier and I'll pass that on to my people (Bro, Niece, Friends). XW: Sure, I'll let you know. Me: Great, I'll talk to you later then, bye. XW: OK, bye.
Wow, haven't written out dialogue on the board in a while. So, I know her. I could tell she wasn't "herself" but I didn't bring it up. None of my concern. Maybe, the "lump" wouldn't get off the couch and help her make breakfast .
I however, was upbeat on the phone. My boss and I had been talking over the past 3 weeks or so about a new position. Basically separating our Internet business into it's own department. Long story short, I'm going to be heading up this new department effective Jan 1st. I'll be out in the field a little less but not much. The real kicker is if that part of our business grows the way we think, my income could potentially increase 40-70% by the end of our fiscal year. It's set up so as it grows, so does the compensation. I'm sure D13's going to fill her in on it as she's excited about it too.
So I've now got to crank out some work so I can cut out a little early and get the Xmas shooping done. I mean, crap, it is the 21st you know!!!
